Interacting w/another App on Win32

I'm trying to find some information about how to do something but I
don't even know what to search for. Here's the deal: I am writing a
visual interface to Win32 command line tool. At some point, I will
need to pass information to and read information from the other
application. Is there a way to do this in Perl without the need to
spawn a "DOS window"?

perldoc -f system
perldoc -f exec

Or look in perlop for qx/STRING/ or `STRING` (backticks, not single-quotes).
